برون کشید ز پیچاک ہست و بود مرا

English title: From life and being’s twisted skein

Translations
برون کشید ز پیچاک ہست و بود مراچہ عقدہ ہا کہ مقام رضا گشود مرا
تپید عشق و درین کشت نا بسامانیہزار دانہ فرو کرد تا درود مرا
ندانم اینکہ نگاہش چہ دید در خاکمنفس نفس بہ عیار زمانہ سود مرا
جہانی از خس و خاشاک در میان انداختشرارۂ دلکی داد و آزمود مرا
پیالہ گیرز دستم کہ رفت کار از دستکرشمہ بازی ساقی ز من ربود مرا
